    Just bought a bunch yesterday, along with some hex screws..... those hard drives suck! But worth it.




    Doesn't anyone try to sell the plastic? Ive been saving mine so I can.... it adds up SOOO fast!

    Determine never to be idle. No person will have occasion to complain of the want of time who never loses any. It is wonderful how much may be done if we are always doing.

    Yes, I do sell my mixed plastics. Sold it all yesterday for $0.08/lb. Got raped on the boards and drives that I sold, but at least they did buy the plastics.

    and where in the world do you sell a truckload of mixed plastic? i have been trying for a long time now. i give away a heaping garbage can full of mixed (mostly abs) every week to my town. I mean, i'm glad they take all types of plastic, but i could have a truckload once a month and my dude could probably do even more than that

    I called a plastic manufacturer they said they would need a sample but, it seemed like they would probably take it. There is also an pretty large ewaste recycler that takes the plastic as long as its several hundred pounds, I think ABS only.
